Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William the Silent The story of William the Silent is in large measure the story of the Netherlands revolt, which has indissoluble links with the tale of events in several European countries, and he who writes the Princes biography is subject therefore as he goes to a constant temptation to cover a wider and wider field. But as far as one could without presenting a picture too sectional or distorted I have kept within the narrow limits of a "Life". I have consulted all the relevant contemporary writings within my reach. It were unnecessary to catalogue them; but I may mention specifically the later volumes of the Calendars of State Papers which have appeared since my most recent predecessors wrote, and the English narratives of Sir Roger Williams and T. Churchyard, these latter not so much for their intrinsic importance (though Williams at least is as judicial and free from bias as any chronicler of his time) as because previous writers on this subject do not seem to have made use of them. Of the many modern authorities special reference must be made to Miss Ruth Putnam whose "William the Silent" is a monument of enthusiastic industry. Mr. Frederick Harrison´s luminous study in the "English Statesmen" series and M. Justes biography have also been valuable helps.
